[Koha-devel] Question about an Acquisitions enhancement proposal

[Alex Buckley]

Hi Katrin,

Thanks so much, I look forward to catching up with you in Montreal :)

Those are really good points and they are very helpful. I've passed 
this, and Laurence's, points onto our partner library to check if they 
would like to proceed with sponsoring this enhancement.

As I am about to go on my Italy annual leave Aleisha, or Wainui, will 
likely write this enhancement so you might see a bug report from them 
for this in the near future!

Thanks again for your response.

Kind regards,

Alex
